The Communications Hub works with organisations to create marketing and communications solutions which really work.
We have a specialism in and passion for working with charities. Understanding the complexities of the sector isn’t something which every communications agency can get right - it takes expertise, experience, and time.
As charities and
voluntary organisations face a tougher time than ever, we believe
that the not-for-profit sector needs to think more commercially. We
understand the challenges which organisations face, helping them to
plan communications with a business focus so that they are able to
compete successfully and ensure survival into the future. Our
approach is to start right from the beginning, with a strong sense
of strategic direction as a foundation for successful communication.
As well as her
work in the commercial and government sectors, Lara Samuels, Director
of The Communications Hub, has a wealth of experience in the charity
world. She has been a charity Campaigns Director, has worked on
numerous projects with charities large and small, and has been on the
Board of Trustees for the Octavia
Foundation since October 2011.
The
Communications Hub offers a variety of services to charitable and
not-for-profit organisations to meet their very specific needs. This
can range from a one-off strategic planning day, to consultancy
projects, training for capacity building, and ongoing management of
communications functions. Across all of our services we strive to
make sure that our clients are reaching the right people in the right
way. This could be to promote services, fundraise, boost awareness,
or recruit volunteers, to name just a few.
Most of all,
we're driven by making a genuine difference to the way that our
clients operate, and the positive results that they get from this.
Our clients come back to us, and they refer us on to their contacts
and networks too.
The
Communications Hub worked with Sound Connections on developing our
communications strategy and how we could improve our advocacy. Lara
is an excellent trainer and facilitator and we benefited a huge
amount from her expertise and insight.

It was great
having all of us in the same room pulling together and understanding
what needed to be done to move forward.
- Sonja Heaslip,
Happy Soul Festival
The
Communications Hub became a part of our team, understanding how our
organisation worked and developing a communications strategy and plan
which has allowed us to move forward for the future.

CMO, TAG International Development
We are very happy with the communications strategy which The Communications Hub compiled for us. We feel that they really thought about the needs of our organisation as well as factoring in our constraints. This left us with a strategy we could realistically implement to take our organisation forward.

Armstrong, British Association of Play Therapy
I just wanted
to drop you a belated note to say thank you very much for your input
into our conference last week. Your workshop went down a treat and we
had lots of very positive comments about it.
- Jo Cookes,
Project Manager, RAISE
The Communications Hub worked closely with Merseyside Youth Association, seeking to overhaul its marketing and communications work, delivering a series of workshops and a well prepared strategy. Lara was reliable, responsive and results focussed throughout, and was well liked by the client. The work was thorough and well executed.

Training Manager, Media Trust
